You can choose to either give one XO laptop to a child in a developing country, or give one to another child as well as get one for your own child.

The OLPC XO was designed for children in remote areas of the world. The screen had to be visible in bright sunlight, the case and the keyboard had to withstand the extremes of nature, it needed to be powered in areas where an electrical source is rare, and it needed to be cheap.

Prices for the G1G1 program are the same as they were last year. A $199 USD donation allows one to be given, while a $399 USD donation allows one to be gotten as well. Amazon was chosen as the sponsor for this year’s promotion in order to alleviate the distribution issues that occurred last year.
